RE: [h-e-w] Tags Navigation

[Milliken, Peter]

Why doesn't C-u M-. work? It does for me.

What I tend to do is "reorder" my tags file. The software I work on has many
duplications of the same functions/variables across the various modules, so
I wrote a small Elisp "filter" that would re-arrange the order of tags in my
tags file in an attempt to find the correct one first (not always possible
in my source environment, but the best I could come up with without a lot
more work:-)). You could also modify the tags code to present some form of
menu for you as well.

Subject: [h-e-w] Tags Navigation



I create a large tags file with this shell command, which recurses the
numerous subprojects that make up my project:  dir /b *.h *.cpp | etags -

There are often method names that clash. When I go to a function def, and it
is the wrong one, I cannot get Emacs to go to the next definition of the
same name. Or, better yet, when a conflict exists, to present me with a the
available choices. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
